I got Loop Laces for my 4yr old daughter, who couldnt tie her shoes at all, and she tied them on her first try! They are pretty simple, they have the loops already there like the bunny ears i was trying to show her how to make with her regular laces, so she understood right away how to tie them. My friends have 6 and 7 yr olds who still cant tie, my daughter loves to show them!
